Ingredients:
1 ripe banana
240ml milk (low-fat or plant-based milk works well)
200g whole wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1 apple
Oil for cooking (coconut oil, avocado oil, or vegetable oil)
Instructions:
Mash it Up: In a bowl, mash the banana until smooth and creamy.

Mix it In: Add the milk to the mashed banana and whisk together until well combined.
Dry Together: In a separate bowl, combine the flour and baking powder.

Batter Up: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring just until a slightly lumpy batter forms. Don’t overmix!
Apple Surprise: Peel and grate the apple, then fold it gently into the pancake batter.

Get Cooking: Heat a thin layer of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Pancake Power: Pour about 1/4 cup of batter per pancake onto the hot pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until bubbles appear on the surface.
Flip and Finish: Flip the pancakes and cook for another 1-2 minutes, or until golden brown.

Repeat and Enjoy: Repeat steps 6-8 with the remaining batter. Serve your pancakes warm and enjoy!
